Grading all 32 first-round picks after Week 3 of the 2020 NFL season (PICK NO. 3: CB JEFFREY OKUDAH, DETROIT LIONS
2020 overall grade: 28.2. There have been few careers off to rockier starts than that from the No. 3 overall pick this year. Okudah missed Week 1 with a hamstring injury before being schooled by Davante Adams and the Packers' offense in Week 2. This week, he was left grasping at air by the elusive Kyler Murray near the goal line and also struggled to contend with DeAndre Hopkins in coverage. Overall, he allowed a catch on five of the six passes thrown his way for 79 receiving yards. He earned an ugly overall PFF grade (35.7), but he did at least get himself back in the positive column with an interception later in the game.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-grading-32-first-round-picks-week-3-2020-nfl-season
Rookie rankings: Burrow claims No. 1 (12. Jonah Jackson: Jackson is just a rock at left guard for Detroit. His ability to get to the second level has been noteworthy. At one point, he showed an impressive vertical pass set.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/week-4-nfl-rookie-power-rankings-joe-burrow-steals-top-spot-from-sidelined-chase-young/
NFL Coach Hot Seat Rankings 2020 (4. Matt Patricia - Lions. This isn't going as planned. When the Detroit Lions hired Patricia as their head coach in 2018, they did so under the guise of him having been born of the Bill Belichick tree of coaching. Well, two years in, there's nothing Belichickian about his reign quite yet. As a matter of fact, it's been the opposite, as the Lions moved in the wrong direction the past couple of years. They went an uninspiring 6-10 in Year 1 under Patricia and then finished 2019 with a 3-12-1 mark. Granted, they were without Matthew Stafford for eight games, but they were 3-4-1 with their franchise QB on the field. And that record was despite Stafford having thrown for 2,499 yards along with 19 touchdowns to only five interceptions in those eight starts. In other words, the QB is not the issue, which leaves the bullseye on the front office and coaching, but the former isn't going to fire themselves. Patricia is going to have to really show something in 2020 for Lions fans to buy in, because they're nowhere near doing so just yet. He'll presumably have Stafford for the full ride this coming season, and there's no shortage of offensive weapons surrounding him, with future Hall of Fame running back Adrian Peterson now joining the fold as well. That only leaves the defense to get back to shutting down opponents, something it has not been able to do. Allowing an average of more than 26 points per game in 2019 doesn't look good for a coach who hangs his hat on defense, and who's been a defensive coordinator before heading to Detroit. Sure, they held the hapless Giants (who are averaging fewer than 13 points per game in 2020) to just that -- 13 points -- but two of their first three defensive outings have no impressed, making it no surprise they're 1-2 right now. That win over the Cardinals in Week 3 feels good in the moment, but tick tock.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-4-coach-hot-seat-rankings-2020-dan-quinn-at-top-matt-nagy-buys-time-with-qb-change/
